The Roseanne reunion has been a big hit, and the show’s already been renewed for an additional season by ABC. One of the keys to the show’s new success is that they were able to bring back everybody from the original show, which ended its run in 1997. So when the new episodes first started filming, with so many familiar faces surrounding them, John Goodman and Roseanne Barr felt like they’d stepped back in time.

In the upcoming series Reverie, Sarah Shahi (Necessary Roughness, Chicago Hope) plays Mara Kint, a former hostage negotiator who ventures into the titular virtual reality world to save individuals from being forever trapped in that universe. The program, which co-stars Dennis Haysbert, may have its fantastical and thriller elements, but it covers material that is pertinent to today’s social climate.

Shahi was not exactly steeped in virtual reality before she took on the project. “(I knew) absolutely nothing,” said Shahi. “And it’s interesting because my character is not a fan of VR. She is definitely kind of old school and feels the days of technology is somewhat evil. These people are running from something – they are throwing all of their problems into this tiny little microchip, similar to how we do with our phones and social media. We give everything to our phones and social media. So she’s not really supportive of that belief.”

And we can guarantee she’ll be up on stage for Sunday night’s 2018 edition of the Billboard Music Awards: She’ll be hosting the event.

Storybook romances, at least in Hollywood, may house a darker side. The Arrangement, starring Josh Henderson as mega star Kyle West and ChristineEvangelistaas ingenue Megan Morrison, addresses these themes, culminating with what one expects to be a season ending cliffhanger tonight.

“I think people are realizing that we are very much around a unique and dangerous story,” said Henderson. “We’re pushing the envelope a lot with season two and we’re getting to a crazy place.”

Henderson, who previously played John Ross Ewing on Dallas, has an interesting approach in regards to shooting The Arrangement. Click on the media bar to hear Henderson explain why he doesn’t read the entire shooting script and instead prefers to keep himself (and therefore his character) in the dark:

YouTube Red’s Cobra Kai revisits the characters from The Karate Kid, the beloved 1984 martial arts movie, 34 years later. It stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, who played the original film’s two main rivals, and it’s just been renewed for a second season. Without the movie’s memorable fight scenes, Cobra Kai probably would not exist. As we discovered, those scenes were particularly memorable for Zabka, who recalls them in vivid detail for us.
